I like how this report provides forecasts on companies returning to taiwan, exports, currency, etc. Most US-based reporting on the tariffs provide no statistics and are fear-mongering.

According to the MOEA, the 52 firms are expected to create more than 27,000 new jobs for Taiwan.

I've been to Taiwan. The people are friendly and industrious. This is a good thing.

How about bring the jobs back to the USA? It has plenty of cheap labor, energy and natural resources.

I learned a long time ago that the only fair tax is the tax that taxes you and not me. It sounds like the same rule applies to tariffs as well.

Chi-coms and China has grown as a result oe taking advantage of our stupidity for quite some time.
A serious downturn in the economy leaves many out and makes for trouble.
Good.

After China apparently reneged on some of the understandings that had already been reached in trade negotiations...

I didn’t know that. Definitely something the MSM doesn’t want folks to know.

And it’s crazy that Taiwan businesses operate in China. That’s good. Usually economic ties reduce the chances of war.

Usually.

Or maybe I’m completely wrong :) It happens a lot.

Lowering income taxes and raising import tariffs used to be standard Republican Party fare.

Maybe they will fill their ghost cities with unemployed workers.

As we approach full employment and wages rise, we do not have cheap labor. With a $15 minimum wage in several places, we have a wage gradient across the USA.

And then you advocate bringing back all jobs for which there are no workers to fill . The result of your sermons is importing labor. The logical conclusion is open borders to which you logically ascribe.

Wages have along way to go to catch up to overcome the wage suppression you globalist caused. Hell, you traitors almost drove ud to true socialism. Screw you pal.

I would be very happy if jobs were transferred from China to a friendly country. Even a country like Vietnam would be better if they don’t require a technology transfer or threaten the US.

Not all jobs will be transferred to the US.

The US should not have normal trade with communist countries. Friendly nations should have better terms than unfriendly ones.

What will be most impacted here which will drive up prices is modifications to the supply chain. Local vendors used will need to change, ports will change, timing of the routes, weather conditions all will have to be dealt with as part of the change.

The manufacturing part is the simple piece.

But that should be the official goal of US economic and tax policy at this point.

Yes.

I am currently peripherally involved in a project where an American plant of an EU company merged with a larger American company has subcontracted some fabrication and assembly to works in China.

The equipment to be assembled is produced by several American vendors and some EU vendors. Since the ultimate destination is not America, I don’t think tariffs will be an issue.

Keeping track of it all and keeping the schedule on track is a real, real challenge for the project manager.

More evidence of President Trump’s ultimate end game plan to get manufacturers to abandon China. Trump is not only getting American and European manufacturers to abandon China but now he is getting not only Taiwanese but nationalist Chinese manufacturers supplying the US considering abandoning their own country as well for Cambodia and Vietnam to avoid the tariff and be able to compete. Ultimately there will be no jobs available in China and the final touch will be when joblessness punctures their real estate bubble sending the yuan into a tailspin and parasitic tech thieving China will return to the Third World agrarian society they deserve to be under their communist government.They will fold to Trump at every turn in the negotiations.

The goal should be to bring it home. Otherwise it will be SSDD

You gloBULLists are not listening. The goal is to bring manufacturing back to the good old USA!
